And he also highlighted the case of Victorino Chua, the nurse from Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport, who he said should have been foremost in the thoughts of bosses at the hospital in Chester because he'd been sentenced for killing patients in May 2015, just a matter of weeks before Lucy Letby began killing babies in her care.
